Dave -As Joshua has noted Redirect is the most expedient way, but you say that's not working. How exactly is it failing? Apache won't* start? Doesn't redirect** as you would expect? Returns an error**?
R.* Run apachctl configtest (or your site equivalent - Debian/Ubuntu call it apachectl or apache2ctl depending on the version of Apache HTTPd you're running) and copy the error into your reply.
** A sanitized copy of the appropriate parts of your httpd.conf or .htaccess would be required to figure out why it's not working. Alias / AliasMatch only work in the server config or vitual host context. Redirect will work in an .htaccess file, but may not be allowed by your server configuration. The appropriate access_log or error_log may also have useful information - copy the appropriate lines in the log to your follow-up as well.
